Automate Kubernetes cluster using Ansible roles to launch a WordPress website and a MySQL database server for it.
In this blog, we are going to create a Kubernetes cluster like how we did in the previous blog and then further we are going to launch a WordPress website on worker node and a database server for this website.
Steps to do the task :
Starting steps will be the same as the previous blog, so we’ll continue the further process.
Link for the previous blog-
1. Create an Ansible role to launch 3 AWS EC2 instances.
2. Create Ansible Playbook to configure Docker, K8S Master, K8S Worker Nodes on the above created EC2 Instances using kubeadm.
Task file of Masternode -
Task file of Worker node -
3. Create one more ansible role WordPress-MySQL in the same workspace.
In the task file of WordPress-MySQL role -
- Pulling WordPress image
“kubectl run mywordpress — image=wordpress:5.1.1-php7.3-apache”
- Pulling MySQL image
“kubectl run mydatabase — image=mysql:5.7 — env=MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD=xyz — env=MYSQL_DATABASE=wpdb — env=MYSQL_USER=abc — env=MYSQL_PASSWORD=xyz”
- Exposing WordPress pod at port 80
the command for exposing pod -
“kubectl expose pods mywordpress —type=NodePort — port=80”
- Checking for services
“kubectl get services”
- Pausing playbook for some time to get ips
- Checking pod launched to get ips
“kubectl get pods -o wide”
The main file to run all three roles Master node, Worker node and WordPress — MySQL.
4. Running main file
Token created…
Worker node joined…
IP and Port of WordPress
Now we can launch the website …
Success!!
